    I received my new micro sim today and will be switching from three to meteor as the three service is dire and this is half the price

    Phone has been unlocked by three but they said I need to restore it in iTunes. Just wondering what I need to do first so I don't lose photos and videos on my phone. They are of the kids and I would hate to lose those moments!

    Right click the iPhone in iTunes and click backup. When that's done click restore, you will get asked to restore as a new phone or from a backup. Pick the latest backup

    Try syncing the phone with the meteor sim installed before you restore though

    Normaly if you use a different sim you don't need to restore. Just insert the sim and connect to iTunes and the phone will be unlocked.


    Otherwise if you want to make sure the phone has been backed up, right click on your phone name in iTunes and choose backup.

    After your restore iTunes will ask if you want to restore from that backup.

    Also backup your photos and videos by dragging them from your phone to a destination of your choice.

    If I back it up on my phone with iCloud will that save all? Mobile numbers too?

    That depends on what you have turned on in the iCloud options.

    Photos and videos on your phone can potentially take up more space than the free 5GB that Apples gives you.
